Top Notch, TRUSTWORTHY Representation Without Excessive Fees and Cost

I have used several attorneys over the years on business related matters, so I have a good basis against which to compare Mr. Carrasco's performance. I came to Ben as Plaintiff in a case that had been ongoing for some time and which needed a top notch litigator to take it to trial. The time to tr...ial was short, a matter of weeks, which made the challenge even greater. That notwithstanding, Ben was exceptional in comprehending and organizing our case and its presentation to the court. On his own, and without my asking, Ben created Exhibits which he presented at the trial to help the Judge understand the critical elements of our case. I was impressed by that as in the past I had to suggest these things to the attorneys I had used. At the trial Ben performed with the perfect amount of controlled aggression not letting the Defendants get one over on us while at the same time remaining completely professional and within the rules of decorum of the court. The Defendant and his attorney immediately got the message that we were not going to be pushed around. Ben performed better in court than attorneys with 20 years of experience and believe me, I know, having used those guys in the past and having paid their high fees, win or lose. With respect to Ben's fees, I found them entirely reasonable. Additionally, Ben worked with us on his fee as we are by no means wealthy and we pursued the lawsuit on principle rather than expecting a large monetary gain from it. Bottom line: Ben Carrasco cared about our case and more importantly he cared about us personally as human beings. He "got it" that we sued the Defendant based on principle and not for money. A lot of lawyers don't seem to care about that, you're just "another case" to them. Not so with Ben, I highly recommend Ben Carrasco for any legal matter you may have. He's honest, hard working, very knowledgeable, and aggressive in representing you.
